Discrete Coupling and Synchronization in the Insulin Release in the Mathematical Model of the β Cells

The synchronization phenomenon that occurs in the Langerhans islets among pancreatic β cells is an interesting topic because these cells are responsible for the release of insulin in the blood stream. The aim of this work is to generate in-phase bursting electrical activity (BEA) in β cells with dif...
